Would We Lie?: Tip of the day

September 16, 2004

Tip of the day

Good news for cheapskates:
A fellow who was arrested for leaving a small tip at a New York restaurant has been vindicated.
The restaurant had indicated on its menu that an 18 percent gratuity was required for parties of six or more.
But Humberto Taveras left 10 percent because he didn't like the food.
The restaurant owner called in police, who arrested Taveras.
Now a judge has ruled that tips and gratuities are "discretionary," no matter what a menu may say.
Taveras saved a few bucks at the eatery, but he spent hundreds of dollars in legal fees.
And we think it's only the beginning for Mr. Skinflint. He'd better be very, very careful when he goes outside.
The name of the restaurant is Soprano's.

Why should anyone be OBLIGATED to leave a tip. If the service was horrible why the harry heck should you reward the server? Would you buy that new bike for a kid who is getting F's? I think not! But in the restaurant's defense Mr. Skinflint should have complained about the food. There's no way I will be paying for food that is inedible.
